GRR: Tennessee HS Rugby
The Tennessee Boys state final is set with Ravenwood to take on Harpeth this weekend.
Ravenwood defeated Germantown 42-17 in their semifinal, led by center Andrew Rappe and flyhalf Jesse Boone in the backs, and a solid tight five effort with prop Tanner Eatherly and hooker Jesse Phillips leading the way.
Phoenix Rugby wrapped up a successful weekend with a league win over Titans United and then a victory over visiting South Doyle, the defending Tennessee state champion.
South Doyle won the Tennessee boys HS 7s title this past weekend, going 5-0 in the championship tournament.
South Doyle was consistent throughout the day, keeping all opponents to one or two tries, and only once scoring fewer than three tries.
This weekend sees the Tennessee High School 7s championships held at Middle Tennessee State University, with eight teams vying for the title.
ATAVUS recently sent USA flyhalf/scrumhalf Shalom Suniula and former Eagle prop Shawn Pittman to Tennessee to work with players from Middle Tennessee State University, and high school players from South Doyle and other teams.
Suniula worked with the players on passing skills and decision-making, while Pittman works on contact and forward skills.
